I have an Apple iBook running OS X 10.2 connected to my network via an 802.11b wireless network. When I transfer files via SMB with my Windows 2000 computer, the speed seems reasonable. However, when I connect to a share on my Debian (x86) box (kernel 2.4.19) running Samba 2.2.3a-12 for Debian, the speed is only abo...

...mU --> domU 1.85 Gbits/sec (using domU eth0 IP address) dom0 --> domU 91.5 Mbits/sec domU --> dom0 85.2 Mbits/sec So far, so good. The relatively slow dom0<->domU communication may indicate a problem, but it''s fine for my purposes. The real problem is when I use my iBook (running Mac OS X) to run some iperf tests. The computers are connected via a crossover cable. They were originally connected with a hub, but I changed to a crossover cable connection to reduce variables (it turns out this had no effect). dom0 --> iBook 89.0 Mbits/sec iBook --> dom0...

...ntosh (10.5.8, PPC). After a lot of playing with options, manual page reading, etc, I have the following command, executed on the windows machine: rsync -A -X -a --delete --rsync-path="/opt/local/bin/rsync --fake-super --log-file=/tmp/rlog.txt" /cygdrive/c/DRIVERS "rsync at kleiman-ibook:/Volumes/Windows rsync/rsync" The idea of this command: Preserve as much information as possible (including acl's and extended attributes), use fake-super to work even as a non-root user, copy the entire C drive, but initially test with just a single sub directory (the C:/DRIVERS director...

Well, the worm has turned and I think I may actually get an Apple ;P. But I can''t decide which one. Pros and cons: 14" iBook: + modem (for when broadband kicks out, or on the road and there''s no WIFI) + screen is probably big enough (though I currently have a 15" Dell) + doesn''t get as hot as the MacBook + almost half the cost + less likely to get stolen - 1/4 to 1/5 as fast (in theory) - no isigh...

This is way OT, but here goes... I''ve had an iBook for 2 days now and am debugging a web built with prototype/script aculo / windows / etc... I have no real experience on a Mac. Occasionally, there''s no better way to debug JavaScript than an alert in a loop... Once I have the information information I want from the alert, the loop may w...

Hi all, an iBook running Mac OS X 10.2 recently joined my little network, so i did configure it for using a Windows shared printer (HP Officejet G55), naturally through SMB protocol. I used CUPS for setting it up. Now, the problem: if i try to print from the iBook, the printer takes about 10 minutes for throwing ou...

This is an operating system question, but it is with the intent of using R on that operating system. I have an ibook G4 Power PC that I am going to install linux on. Is there a better, worse, or perhaps easier (I am a linux newby migrating from mac) distribution that I should look at. I appreciate your help. I didn't post this in the sig-mac because I don't know if it fits there better than anywhere el...

I have a 12" G4 iBook with the latest os (Panther) with the recent updates. When I start R by double clicking, it expands for a fraction of a second and then, nothing happens. There is mention in the readme about using something called "i-install" to uninstall a mistakenly installed library, but I do not k...

I downloaded source tar.bz2 file, configuring finished succesed, but compiling, when process with file dlls/mshtml.tbl, exiting with error: error: get_type_vt: u...

How many people out there are doing Rails development on a Mac Mini? I''ve been eyeing up the MacBook as well as the new MacMini trying to decide if I want to splurge. I''ve been doing very little Rails development thus far which makes the investment a little hard to justify. The Free Mini Mac ( http://minimacs.freepay.com/?r=16778073) offer seems like the best route but

I''d like to generate config files containing passwords. One (obvious) way to do this would be: $password = ''big_secret'' file { ''/the/config.file'': content => template(''config.file.erb''); } # config.file.erb has a `password = <%= password %>` line The problem with this is, that I''d have to

Hi All, I''ve finally got fed up of struggling with Windows and am on the verge of splashing out on a Macbook for Ruby/Rails development. I''ve seen DHH''s post about it on loudthinking but I wondered if anyone else has any more wisdom... Is it worth it over a powerbook? Any tips on good OSX apps for Rails dev (textmate, i know already)? Anything not working well on

I'm looking to switch to Mac platform. Anyone had any experience with that? I'm expecting on a power G4 laptop later this week.... hope R behaves... -- dok

I'm trying to use wine on a remote X11 desktop (my Mac iBook), and everything works except for the system fonts. I can see fonts in the system menus (File, Edit, Help, etc), but not anywhere else on the application. For example, when I run winecfg on the remote linux box (running Slax "Kill Bill" edition), I see *no* text whatsoever. When r...

...a LAN here at the conference and was connected to my home Asterisk in a few seconds. Total time from unzipping my bag to talking to home no more than 15 seconds. OK, so the kit could be more portable, but that is coming ! Also, in the hotel there is dialup only. But, I dialled up with my Apple ibook, enabled connection sharing, connected the ATA186 to the ibook Ethernet port and similarly had dialtone in a few seconds. I made calls over that - using a low-bandwidth codec - and it worked great too. That was also a NATted connection. I knew it would work in theory, but the ease in practice wa...

Dear list, My system administrator at office runs a SMB server for us all to share files at smb://server/share/ , on which we share mainly MS Office/OpenOffice.org documents. I have recently switched to iBook G4 with Panther. After the switching, I can connect to the SMB server using Panther's built in SMB capability (under Finder). But then we discover that when I open a file on smb://server/share, I am unable to lock that file so that other users can still open the same document read-write and sav...

I have an ibook G4 (powerpc) running OS X panther. I am using gcc 4.0.3 installed from Darwin Ports to compile llvm. When I try to compile llvm, I get the following error: llvm[1]: Compiling Program.cpp for Debug build Unix/Program.inc: In function 'void llvm::SetMemoryLimits(unsigned int)': Unix/Prog...

...Note that I'm looking to transfer/create an empty directory in some cases. So, just a quickie: how? My current command line for rsync looks like this: rsync -A -a --delete --rsync-path="/opt/local/bin/rsync --fake-super --log-file=/tmp/rlog.txt" /cygdrive/c/ "rsync at kleiman-ibook:/Volumes/Windows\ rsync\rsync" and if there's a good way to shorten that, I'd love to know. Incidentally, I get a LOT of error messages: Kleiman-ibook:Windows TM michael$ head -5 /tmp/rlog.txt 2011/12/17 19:34:37 [10315] receiving file list 2011/12/17 19:34:39 [10315] rsync: set_acl:...

Hey guys I got a ibook g4, I installed darwine, I tried running MSN Messenger 7.0 "it says it works" and it doesn't work I just get an error saying it didn't worry and has closed. I tried utorrent, same deal, then I went to the darwine folder and went into applications and tried clocks.exe and that didn...
